Does methyl shift occur if carbocation is equally stable |
|
Answer» Explanation: Vinylic carbocations GENERALLY do not REARRANGE, even if they can become more STABLE. For example, the rearrangement shown below does not occur, even though a SECONDARY carbocation would rearrange to become a more stable allylic carbocation (primary with resonance). |
